Bathymetric features are visible on some SEASAT SAR and SIR-A images. This study surveyed as wide a data base as possible and collected available ground truth to determine the limits of this visibility. Such parameters as tidal levels, currents, wind, rain, radar incidence angle, radar aspect angle and radar processing were all considered. Some dependence of visibility on current was discovered, and conversely, independence of radar incidence angle. The results were severely limited by the lack...

The U.S. Coast Guard is presently studying candidate advanced marine vehicles (AMVs) to replace its aging cutters. Several programs have been initiated to evaluate marine vehicles that best fulfill required missions. These programs include development of decision aids, test and demonstration of existing AMVs, and development of state-of-the-art point designs. The Research and Development Center has developed measures of effectiveness of AMVs in search and rescue, enforcement of laws and...

Detailed measurement of the flow field in front of a large-scale single cylinder, mounted in a wind tunnel is discussed. A better understanding of the three dimensional separation occuring in front of the cylinder on the endwall, and of the vortex system that is formed is sought. A data base with which to check analytical and numerical computer models of three dimensional flows is also anticipated.

The present study sought to describe the patient population and service delivery at a single small Navy outpatient mental health clinic by collecting data directly from patient/clinician encounters. The total sample included 240 Navy officers and enlisted personnel and 6 Marine Corps service members seen during a 9-month period. Major findings were that most patients were referred from the base dispensary's sick call, that services provided consisted almost exclusively of evaluation and...

Amorphous metals is a general term that refers to a class of solid metallic materials whose diffraction pattern shows no sharp reflections. When they are formed continuously from a melt by rapid quenching (usually around 1,000,000 K/s -1) they can be called metallic glasses. They can also be prepared by vapor, sputter, or electro-deposition, or even by ion-bombardment. Where the same metallic alloy has been prepared in amorphous form both by rapid quenching and by one of the other deposition...

This volume presents a record of large-scale solar magnetic fields and solar activity during 130 solar rotations, from November 1964 through July 1974, in the form of H-alpha synoptic charts and accompanying descriptive notes. A new perspective on large-scale magnetic fields is provided by the inference of lines of polarity reversal from the systems of structures visible in H-alpha patrol filtergrams. These structures map the neutral lines in the radial component of solar magnetic fields...

The study of atomic and molecular adsorption on well-defined metal surfaces is of crucial importance to the understanding of many technologically important processes such as thin film growth, catalysis, corrosion, and the rates of chemical reactions on surfaces. The experimental methods employed in this study include the field ion microscope (FIM) and hyperfine interaction techniques. The systems chosen for study included the adsorption of hafnium and cadmium atoms on single crystal surfaces of...

The problem of finding optimal incomplete block designs for comparing p test treatments with a control is studied. BIB designs are found to be D-optimal. A- and E-optimal designs are also obtained. For a large class of functions phi, conditions for a design to be phi-optimal are found. Most of the optimal designs are certain types of BTIB designs (introduced by Bechhofer and Tamhane (1981)) which are binary in test treatments.

This report relates current attentional research and theory to the development of skilled performance, with emphasis on how performance changes with practice. Dual process attention theory is reviewed, and the distinction between automatic and controlled processing is examined. The changing interactions between automatic and controlled processing in the development of skill are discussed, and it is proposed that consistent practice produces automatic productions which perform consistent...

In the analysis of income distribution, it has been observed that the true income is usually underreported. In this paper we study the statistical prperties of reported incomes through a multiplicative underreported model. The concept of 'locally nearly dullness' of the reported income is introduced and studied. The above property of dullness has been used to characterize the Pareto distribution for the problem of reported incomes. (Author)

In this paper we obtain central limit theorems for some dependent random variables which are used to describe the distribution of magnetic spins present in a ferromagnet crystal. A ferromagnet crystal consists of a large number of sites. At site i there is some amount of magnetic spin present. The magnetic spin present at any site interacts with the magnetic spins at its neighboring sites and hence gives rise to some dependency among the magnetic spin present.

This report summarizes the efforts of a two-phase program aimed at reclaiming depleted uranium (DU) alloy fragments generated from the testing of GAU-8 penetrators at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. Phase I developed methods of separating, cleaning, and melting the DU fragments. Four separate melting and casting heats were made and evaluated. Excellent chemical quality was established and the casting yields were better than 97 percent. Phase II efforts manufactured 150 GAU-8 penetrators of...

The objectives of this paper are to prove an overview of the TSAR and TSARINA simulation models, and to illustrate their application. These models were developed to provide a method to assess how airbase attacks would affect the capability of airbases to generate effective combat sorties, and to evaluate how a wide range of airbase improvement options could increase the combat capability of airbases during wartime. TSAR simulates the complex interdependencies between the diverse kinds of...

Scanning Photoacoustic Microscopy (SPAM) images of aluminum with 0%, 24%, and 36% aluminum oxide grit, of surface roughness standards, and of track shoe pad rubber are shown. Considerable structure is evident in the images, even in the supposedly uniform sample of aluminum with 0% grit. Further research is necessary to relate the structure evident in the images which cannot be correlated with visible features to properties of the materials.

In practice, nonparametric confidence intervals often have undesirable small sample asymmetry and converge characteristics. By applying Edgeworth expansion theory, we obtain asymptotic expansions for the errors associated with nonparametric confidence intervals. This analysis isolates the various elements that contribute to error. We then proceed to develop first and second order corrections to the standard nonparametric interval, which deal with asymmetry problems and coverage difficulties,...

In this report, an algorithm for adaptive control of continuous time single-input single-output systems is presented. With the hybrid approach, the control structure involves a continuous as well as a discrete time part, instead of being totally discrete or totally continuous as in previous approaches. The system is sampled and the adaptive gains updated at a variable rate varying with the magnitude of the error itself.

In Sections 1, 2, and 3, the development of the Team Decision System (TDS in combination with THOUGHSTICKER for representing a mission) is placed in the context of four conferences on Decision Making in Complex Systems. Sections 4, 5, and 6 are concerned with a recent (at the moment nearly completed) experimental series to determine the influence of rich geography in the TDS environment, over and above global connectivity. It appears that geography has a large effect on accurate mission recall....

A field study has been carried out to investigate the behaviour of bores in the inner surf zone of natural sandy beaches and to examine a theory which links bores to swash through a process of bore collapse at the shoreline. The theory models subsequent swash as a lens of water moving up the bech slope under the decerlerating influence of gracity only. Cine-photography was used to collect all data. Bores were filmed on a flat profile in shallow water (0.5m) which was either at rest or flowing...

It is also shown how the locations of remaining unassigned poles could be controlled. The compensator parameters are obtained by solving a linear matrix equation. (Author)
